Murray upbeat despite loss

Andy Murray looked back fondly on a breakthrough clay-court campaign after seeing his French Open dreams perish at the quarter-final stage last night.

The British number one was bidding to become only the second British man in the Open era, after Tim Henman, to reach the last four at Roland Garros but he ran out of steam in losing 6-3 3-6 6-0 6-4 to big-hitting Gonzalez, the 12th seed.
